    Never ending Alt whine

    Never ending Alt whine

    try a ground loop isolator. fyi a healthy alternator makes noise. problems arise when audio components are poorly designed for a car, such as having poor isolation.

    Does the Big 3 Actually Do Anything?

    the battery does not charge unless the alternator is supplying at least 12.6+ volts. the alternator supplies power when the engine is running. if you experience significant headlight dimming your alternator is inadequate and you need a bigger one.
